🎧 Listen to Introduction
The Royal Exhibition Building and its surrounding Carlton Gardens were designed for the great International Exhibitions held in Melbourne in 1880 and 1888. The building and grounds were designed by Joseph Reid. The building is constructed of brick and timber, steel and stone. It incorporates elements of Byzantine, Romanesque, Lombard and Italian Renaissance styles. The building is typical of the International Exposition movement, which saw more than 50 exhibitions held between 1851 and 1915 in places such as Paris, New York, Vienna, Calcutta, Kingston (Jamaica) and Santiago (Chile). All the expositions had a common theme and aim: to record material and moral progress by showcasing the industries of nations.
